Webhook Connection for HipChat

Webhook Connections for HipChat allow you to send scheduled search alerts to HipChat. By setting up a Webhook connection in Sumo Logic, and creating a scheduled search, then you can send an alert from that scheduled search as a post to a HipChat room.

Setting up Webhook Connections for HipChat

The first step for integrating a Webhook with Sumo Logic is to configure one or more connections to HipChat, which are HTTP endpoints that tell Sumo Logic where to send data. You can setup any number of connections, depending on your organization's needs.

To configure a Webhook connection, you must have a Sumo role that grants you the Manage connections capability.

To set up a Webhook Connection for HipChat

In Sumo Logic, go to Manage Data > Settings > Connections.

On the Connections page click Add.

Click HipChat.

In the Create Connection dialog, enter the Name of the connection.

Optional: Enter a Description for the connection.

Enter the URL for the endpoint. Find this URL and token in the HipChat integration field Send messages to this room by posting to this URL. The URL uses the format: https://[username].hipchat.com/v2/room/[Room API ID]/notification?auth_token=[token]
(For more information, see HipChat API documentation.)

Under Payload, enter a JSON object in the format required by HipChat. A default HipChat Payload is provided. For details on variables that can be used as parameters within your JSON object, see Webhook Payload Variables.
